Geopolitical Map_Odessa ( 100x150cm XL ) は、ウクライナ戦争の初期段階と、オデッサ港を標的とした bombardamenti に焦点を当てた地政学的研究です。

この作品は Geopolitical Maps 巡回の一部であり、地上の力の移動と再定義を通じて世界観の変容を探る一連の作品です。これらの作品において、風景の伝統的な概念は軍事的な画像の概念に置き換えられます。地理は物流、部隊の移動、インフラストラクチャ、破壊のプロセスによって横断される表現へと変容します。

この地図は単なる領土表示としての意味を持つのではなく、領土、戦略、紛争の関係が可視化される空間としての性格を持ちます。建物、港湾、交通路、都市部は、部隊の動きと戦争を通じた領土の逐次的な変容によって形づくられる“可動的な地理”の要素となります。

Geopolitical Map Odessa は、景観を観察すべき場所として捉える視点から、領土を力の場として捉える視点への移行を反映します。そこでは空間の認識と軍事物流、破壊、権力関係の再定義が切り離せないものとなっています。

“Geopolitical Map Odessa” is a geopolitical study focusing on the early stages of the war in Ukraine and the bombings that targeted the port of Odessa.

The work is part of the “Geopolitical Maps” series, a body of work that explores the transformation of our worldview through the shifting and redefinition of forces on the ground. In these works, the traditional concept of landscape is replaced by that of a military image: a representation in which geography is traversed by logistics, troop movements, infrastructure, and processes of destruction.

The map is therefore not intended as a simple territorial representation, but as a space in which the relationships between territory, strategy, and conflict are made visible. Buildings, ports, transportation routes, and urban areas become elements of a mobile geography, shaped by the movement of forces and the gradual transformation of the territory through war.

*Geopolitical Map Odessa* thus reflects on the shift from landscape as a place to be observed to territory as a field of forces, in which the perception of space is inseparable from military logistics, destruction, and the redefinition of power relations.
